Two anniversaries

Almost exactly ten years ago I initiated an email correspondence with a professor of biblical studies at Wheaton College whom I had met nearly two years earlier through my sister. Both were members of First Presbyterian Church, Glen Ellyn, Illinois. To make a long story short, this woman became my beloved wife in 1996. So I suppose it's the tenth anniversary of the beginning of our courtship.

Tomorrow I will have attained the ripe old age of half a century less one year. If I live as long as my great-grandfather is reputed to have lived, perhaps I'll have another 61 years to go, should God permit.
